Lacrymosa

The Redeemer Project Album: Yahweh Our Light Track 15

Listen


Notes

This serves as a reprise to Laudate Dominum, and the lyrics are also stolen (mostly) from Mozart. It's another one I remember singing in my high school choir, and so it is also dedicated to my choir teacher, Merrillie Schmidt.

Lyrics

[Verse]
Lacrymosa
dies illa
qua resurget
ex favila

[Verse]
Judicandus
homo reus
huic ergo
parce Deus

[Chorus]
Pie Jesu
Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem

[Bridge]
agnus Dei
agnus Dei
Quitolis pecata mundi

[Chorus]
Pie Jesu
Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem

Amen, Amen

English Translation:

Full of tears will be that day when from ashes shall rise The guilty man to be judged Therefore, spare him oh God Merciful Lord Jesus Grant them eternal rest Behold, the lamb of God Behold, the lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world Merciful Lord Jesus Grant them eternal rest Amen
